    Shawarma Platter
    Valerie C.

    Great Mediterranean Food near Penn campus!!! Found this place on a whim and boy was it tasty! Ordering was quick and easy at the counter. The cashier was friendly and nice. The best part was I didn't have to wait long for food either! And the food is priced fairly for Philly. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter with fries, hummus, baba ghanoush, and tomato cucumber salad mix! Everything was delicious, except the baba ghanoush. The egg plant spread was too strong of tahini or sesame paste, which put it on the more bitter side. Plus it was an additional fee, so I'd pass next time. Loved the hummus. Good thing bc they have hummus in their name haha. Ambiance was cozy, casual and hot. Ventilation could be better, but they have outdoor seating as well! Definitely would come back to try more sandwiches, platters and other goodies on the menu!! Tldr Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 3.75/5

    Beef Kabob

    I've been going here for 2 years now, it really is the best food on UPenns campus. Amazing portions, so many different sides. Food comes out quick too! Only problem is they aren't open on weekends. Highly recommend this place!

    Lamb Platter with Hummus, Tabouli, Cucumber, Fries, and White Pita
    Robert W.

    Stopped in for a quick meal on Eid to celebrate the holiday with a friend. I was super hungry after working a long shift right before this so I was super excited to eat. This place is a little hole in the wall type place across the street from the UPenn campus whose inside is super casual, mostly takeout and pickup orders, and sort of looks like a cross between a restaurant and a bodega. I walked to the back of the restaurant where there is a place to put your order in and see the menu. I ordered a lamb platter and for the platters you can choose 3 sides so I chose hummus, tabouli, and cucumbers. It also comes automatically with a pita (choice of white or whole wheat) and French fries. After ordering you sit back at a random table and wait for the cashier to call your name. Took me about 15 min for my name to be called. This whole meal was amazing and super cost effective at like $13-14. The lamb was well seasoned, flavorful, and juicy. The hummus was super delightful, smooth, and the highlight of all my sides. The tabouli was just okay with a little too heavy on the parsley for my personal preference. The cucumber was refreshing and also well seasoned. The fries were crispy and for me, an always needed side. And the pita...wow... just so fresh, I was able to rip it open to reveal a beautiful, even pocket inside. I decided to dip half of it and pick up small pieces of lamb, hummus, etc. and then I used the other half to make a pita sandwich. If I am ever back in the neighborhood, I will definitely have this again! Wish there was something like this near where I live.

    Combination Platter

    Hidden gem! My partner works nearby and I decided to treat her for lunch. Best idea! The restaurant is small, but has plenty of seating and even two tables outside for outdoor seating. I ordered the beef kabob platter and she had the combo platter with beef and chicken. Each dish comes with a choice of rice or fries as well as 3 sides and a pita. I chose cucumbers, hummus, and cabbage. She had falafels, babaganoush, and tabbouleh. EVERYTHING was extremely fresh and delicious! I was really surprised at how flavorful the chicken and beef were. The service was also good, fast, and friendly. Perfect place to stop in for a no frills lunch or dinner. It's also possible to find metered parking nearby! Adding this spot to my rotation!!

    Hummus Sandwich
    Janvi G.

    Great and affordable food! I got the hummus sandwich and it was really good. The people are also super friendly and gave some really yum pickles etc to go with our meal.

    Stuffed Grape Leaves
    Kelli K.

    So fresh! Some of the freshest fast-style food I've had in Philly. If you like to eat plant based you'll be in heaven here. The Greek salad and stuffed grape leaves were both perfection! I also got the portobello sandwich in pita with tzatziki, tomato, cucumber, and red onion. They did not skimp on the mushrooms which I really appreciated, although they were a bit over cooked and dry. But the rest of the veggies made up for it, especially the cabbage which was so flavorful. I'm going to be honest the hummus was on the bland side imo, but it was silky smooth. The pita is super fluffy, I really enjoyed it. Much of the menu is build-your-own style so you can customize everything to your taste. You can really tell that they care about making good food here with the quality and freshness of the ingredients. I can't believe it was my first time trying Hummus Grill! Don't overlook this place for a healthy and tasty meal.

    A great place for a quick lunch! We were looking for something light and refreshing, and this place hit the spot. my friend got the salmon salad, and I got a plate with salad, beets, baba ganoush, and hummus. The pita bread with the baba ganoush was to die for - I've now incorporated pita bread regularly into my weekly meal plans! will definitely be coming back!

    Lamb Sandwich ($11)
    Sophie W.

    Great lunch spot near campus! The menu has a ton of options, from plates to sandwiches to salads, so you can pick depending on how healthy you want to be. I ordered the lamb pita sandwich, which was packed with juicy lamb. I especially liked the hummus and how silky it was. It went great with all the fillings inside the pita.

    Vegan Shawarma Platter
    Angie L.

    (Pick-up order via Snackpass -- 40% all platters during happy hour!!) Rainy day got me in the mood for some warm, carb-y Mediterranean food, and y'all KNOW the happy hour deal at Hummus Grill is hard to resist. Tried the Vegan Shawarma Platter ($5.99) for the first time; I added sides of hummus, french fries, cucumber+tomato, fried eggplants (!!!! yes), and hot sauce. Everything is pretty standard, pretty yum -- plus the hot sauce is actually hot! Otherwise, decent grub for the price, and you really can't beat that Snackpass discount.

    Very solid hummus / Mediterranean food place. I got the falafel platter and was not disappointed. Plenty of hummus and falafel for not a bad price. One of the better fast food places in University City.

    Great selection of dishes. There was even a hummus salad which was a great way to enjoy hummus if you're gluten free.

    Delicious fluffy hummus and soft warm pita. What could go wrong? I got a platter but I'm getting a sandwich next time. The pita is too good.

We are about a block away on the Penn Campus so we decided to check it out. The restaurant was about half full. Most people ordered their meal to go and rushed to get back to work. There is an extensive menu filled with different options. I decided to go for the plate option which comes with an entree and two appetizers. I ordered the chicken with tzatziki sauce along with pita on the side. For the two sides I chose lemon potatoes and mushrooms. The chicken was great after rolling it up in the pita and dipping it in the tzatziki sauce. The lemon was a little too strong in those potatoes. Next time I might choose french fries or rice instead. They give you a large amount of food for the price. I was unable to finish the entire meal and grabbed the rest to go for later. The staff was very helpful getting a to go box and cleaning up afterwards. I think I will definitely be coming back here for a large meal sometime this week.

We're a sucker for their carrots, sweet potatoes, and array of vegetable options. They have a variety of protein options but we almost always go for their chicken thighs. The staff is generally hit or miss -- some are friendly and some want you to keep the line moving at all costs. One of our favorites! What you didn't come here for: - Water: There is free water from a dispenser but the water has a strange flavor to it, likely Philly's fault. - Restrooms: There is a large single occupancy restroom with a Pin Code. - Accessibility: There is a second floor seating area that is optional. Otherwise everything is available on the first floor. - Seating: There are enough seats on the first floor that you'll usually be able to get a seat. If you can't, there are plenty more seats up stairs on the second floor. - Will it fill you up? Probably. It's sized for one meal though it's not massive either. If you're really hungry you may want to order an extra side. - Dietary Notes: They have so many options it's insane.
